论文摘要
我们引入了一个新的模拟和分析范式，用于成像大气Cherenkov望远镜（IACT）阵列，为每个观察单元模拟实际观察条件以及单个望远镜配置。与现有的框架相比，通常使用预定义的设置生成模拟的现有框架，这种运行模拟方法意味着更现实的模拟，从而减少了系统的不确定性。这个专用的仿真概念的计算工作特别是独立于不同观察配置的数量，而只是随着观察时间线性缩放。这对应于越来越复杂的当前和将来的IACT阵列的巨大优势，在该数组中，相位空间的大小使其在计算上不可行，以生成使用经典仿真方案达到系统要求的模拟。
We introduce a new simulation and analysis paradigm for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) arrays, simulating the actual observation conditions as well as individual telescope configuration for each observation unit. Compared to existing frameworks, where simulations are usually generated using pre-defined settings, this run-wise simulation approach implies more realistic simulations and hence reduced systematic uncertainties. The computational effort of this dedicated simulation concept is notably independent of the amount of different observation configurations but just scales linearly with observation time. This corresponds to a large advantage for increasingly complex current and future IACT arrays where the size of the phase space makes it computationally unfeasible to generate simulations that reach the requirements regarding systematics using the classical simulation scheme.
